Securitize has joined Logos as an initial design partner for a new institutional evidence layer intended to simplify how tokenized securities are evaluated for custody, lending and other financial workflows. The partnership focuses on making information behind tokenized assets reusable across institutions rather than creating another issuance or trading venue.
In its Money20/20 announcement, Securitize said it is helping define the evidence financial institutions need when evaluating tokenized securities, including ownership rights, issuer information, custody arrangements and transfer restrictions. Logos launched its testnet alongside the announcement, with Securitize focused on securities workflows and Paysend helping shape stablecoin payment and settlement use cases.
Congratulations to @Logosfi on its launch.
We're proud to be an initial design partner, helping define the evidence institutions need to assess tokenized securities, including rights, custody, issuer identity, and restrictions.

The underlying problem is largely operational. A custodian considering a new tokenized security may need to verify who issued it, what rights the token represents and what transfer restrictions apply. A lender assessing the same asset as collateral may separately examine backing, valuation and redemption terms. Logos is designed to make signed evidence discoverable and reusable instead of requiring every institution to reconstruct the same diligence package independently.
Logos Builds an Evidence Layer, Not a Settlement Rail
Under the model described on the Logos platform, issuers, administrators and other evidence providers publish signed claims covering information they are authorized to assert. These can include reserves or NAV, redemption rights, custody status and sanctions-screening information. Sensitive underlying documents can remain with their owner while the signed claim travels through the system.
A receiving institution then applies its own versioned policy to that evidence. Logos checks who signed the information, whether the signer had authority to make the assertion, whether the evidence remains current and whether it has subsequently been withdrawn. The system can return an accept, reject or manual-review recommendation with the supporting evidence attached, but the institution retains responsibility for the decision.
That boundary is important. Logos does not execute asset transfers, determine whether a security is legally eligible for a particular institution or provide a universal rating of tokenized assets. Two firms can examine identical evidence and reach different conclusions because their internal policies differ.
Securitize is a relevant design partner because its infrastructure already sits close to the legal and operational records behind tokenized securities. The company has expanded those rails through integrations such as ADI Chain for institutional tokenization and a South Korean infrastructure partnership with LG CNS. Logos would sit one layer above those issuance and servicing systems by making evidence about the resulting assets easier for receiving institutions to evaluate.
Production Workflows Remain Ahead
The testnet launch does not mean institutions are already relying on Logos for production acceptance decisions. The company says its initial implementation runs alongside existing processes until a participant chooses to depend on it, and the first production workflows are targeted for early 2027 rather than being live today.
Logos is also seeking ten additional design partners among custodians, lenders and payment institutions with specific commercial use cases. Other organizations involved in defining evidence requirements include Ethereum Institutional, Solana Foundation, Avalanche, Consensys, Fireblocks, Cyfrin, Halborn and GLEIF, although their participation does not imply that each has deployed production workflows through Logos.
The approach addresses an increasingly visible bottleneck as tokenized assets enter traditional market infrastructure. DTCC has already processed live tokenized securities transactions across collateral, repo and delivery-versus-payment workflows, demonstrating that institutions can move tokenized assets through regulated processes. The next layer of friction is determining which assets individual institutions are prepared to accept and retaining defensible evidence behind those decisions.
For Securitize and Logos, that is the narrower opportunity now being tested. The project is not creating tokenized securities or settling them itself; it is attempting to standardize the evidence institutions need before those assets can enter custody, collateral or payment workflows. Whether that reusable evidence model becomes meaningful infrastructure will depend on the production integrations scheduled to begin in 2027.
